Minnesota vs Miami prediction

Minnesota will host Miami tonight in a game where hosts are 1-point favorites, while total sits at 207 points. This game is kind of difficult match-up for both teams as it's projected on 95 possessions, which is slower than average pace of both teams. Miami won ten games in a row and is just 2 games out of 8th place in the East. They were a team that was looking to deal a few pieces at trade deadline, but now, that tactic doesn't seem so smart. On the other hand, Minnesota found out on Saturday that LaVine will miss the rest of the season, and that's really terrible news for this young team. He maybe didn't have elite usage rate, but Minnesota have such tight rotation and LaVine was near the top of league in minutes played per game. It will be very tough for them to replace him.
